FOUNDING DESIGNER @ AUGRADE
Based in San Francisco Bay Area

Currently designing @ Augrade


I am a product and experience designer specializing in 0-to-1 product development, with expertise in user research, systems thinking, and design strategy.


My background blends a strong foundation in interaction design with extensive experience driving end-to-end design across web and mobile, including user research, problem definition, MVP scoping, prototyping, and close collaboration with engineering through implementation and QA.


I am guided by a childlike curiosity, a love for experimenting, and a joy in bringing clarity to ambiguity.

Principles that guide my work


Be biased toward making

Design to create conditions
conducive for learning

Respect the unknown unknowns

design them
